reported. The arrest of a large number of
repeaters imported by the Republican
leaders caused great excitement and did
much injury to the cause of the reform"

of 2,3OO over the Democratic
majority at the last election. The strength
Of the "reformers'' failed to show up in

a clean sweep and proves the confidence of

Oregon and Northern Pacific Declare
Peace-The New Loan.
NLw YORK, October 26.-The Times
says: The Oregon Transcontinental Co. 3
directors yesterday ordered the with
drawaI of all the suits against the North
ern Pacific Co, including that for an in
junction against building of the Palouse
Branch. The withdrawal of these suits
is the beginning of the era Of good feeling
and harmony between the Oregon Co. 8
and the Northern Pacific, and the matter
is regarded as Of importance by the
officials and friends of both COM
panies. There is some question as TO
whether the Northern Pacific directors
will issue the proposed third mortgage
loan for Sl2, 100000. 1t is believed the
company can get through without making
the new loan, and the authority TO make
it may not be exercised at this time. The
proposal to make the loan has not met
with favor, and il il barely possible that
the Whole matter will be postponed until
a more favorable time. Some friends Of
Mr. Trevor quote him as saying that there
is M necessity of making the loan at this
time.

CHICAGO, October 26.-It is stated here
on undoubted authority that Governor
Ogleshy is disposed to commute the SEN

to imprisonment for life. A great pressure
is being brought to bear upon him to this

there will be only three executions instead
of seven. The three men whom il is said
will suffer the death penalty are Spies,
Llngg and Engel, while Parsons, Fielden,
Schwab aud Fisher are to he sent to the

Demarara Sugar Producers Crowded Out
by American Retiners.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 26.-The
Department of State he's received dis
patch, dated September I'd, from the Con-
sui at Demarara, which says that the plan
ters in that colony are abandoning the
manufacture of crystals, for the English
market and turning their attention to the
production of dark sugars, for the United
States, for the reason that the sugar plan
ters cannot compete with American retiners
or of any other country; and the American
refusrs pay the highest price for this class
of sugars.
The increase in this trade has resulted
in withdrawing steamers plying between
England and Demarara and large ships in
the Calcutta trade, from their regular
routes to carry sugars to the United States.

greater part Of the testimony introduced
in the Blinky Morgan trial at Ravenna,
to-day, was Of the same character ~ that
introduced yesterday, to prove an alibi for

the same person who wrote three
or four letters dated at Ravenna and signed
by John Coughlin. Other witnesses de-
clared that they saw Coughlin in Elyria on
February 4. Thomas Storr, the express
man who hauled the stolen furs from this
city TO Bedford, whence they were shipped 10
Pittsburg, was called and testified that
Morgan WAS not one Of the men who hired
him or rode with him.
